And all clear. Concerning the staff size and page layout, I think I've found something that is not clear to me from the documentation. When reducing the staff size to accommodate all the staves in one page, I noticed that the StaffGroup bracket doesn't become smaller, and similarly, it doesn't become bigger with a staff size of let's say 30. See MWE below. I can solve the issue by defining a paper size big enough, but I somehow always assumed that set-staff-size was affecting all the elements in a score (even though it is about the *staff* size). I'm wondering if there is a command to actually resize all elements in a score (with the possibility of excluding for example the header, page numbers, and so on)? \version "2.25.5" \new StaffGroup << \new Staff { c'' c'' c'' c'' } \new Staff { c'' c'' c'' c'' } >> \layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 9) }
